One of the first considerations when searching for a new copier is if you will make a one time purchase or decide to lease the equipment. There are many offerings, features, pros and cons, and security considerations in today's office equipment environment, so it can be hard to analyze everything together.

You want to make an investment, short or long term, that serves your business well and is reliable. That's where a little research and assistance can come in - read on!

Considerations for Equipment

Considerations in office equipment start at a high level and then dig into details.

Big picture thoughts are:

• Is your business growing quickly, or is the rate slower?
• How equipment reliant are you as an organization and industry?
• What other adaptations do you see in the next few years?
• Is your budgeting structured so that a one time purchase or smaller payments make more sense?
• How does rapidly changing technology impact your business?

With these high level considerations on the table, you can start making more detailed evaluations of your machine selections.

Buy or Lease - Your Call

Buying a copier works for businesses that:

• Want a one-time purchase
• Need a machine to last a long time
• Rarely upgrade equipment
• Don't need the latest technology every few years
• Are not interested in contracts

Leasing a copier works better if your company:

• Prefers smaller payments over time
• Wants the reliability of a repair agreement in the contract
• Likes to upgrade often to have the latest features
• Can pay a little more over time to have the investment spread out.
